Developed by Ubisoft Milano exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was one of the most pleasant surprises of the last year in video gaming. A game that nobody had wanted before its E3 2017 announcement by Ubisoft and Nintendo Presidents Yves Guillemot and Shigeru Miyamoto turned out to be the best-selling third-party Switch exclusive titles to date.
As of August 29, 2018, Ubisoft sold over 2 million copies of Mario + Rabbids worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling third-party games that launched on the Switch. The Italian team also crafted a special Rabbids expansion that allowed players to control Donkey Kong, as well as a new Rabbid wearing Cranky Kong's jacket, as they traverse through new, colorful worlds inspired by the Donkey Kong Country series.
It looks like it's just the beginning and Ubisoft Milan is already working on yet-to-be-announced title. According to the recent job listing, Ubisoft is looking for artists, animators and programmers who will help the team to craft a "prestigious" big-budget title. There's a chance it's a sequel of Mario + Rabbids, but don't forget that Ubisoft is one of those publishers that really like to launch new IPs.
This is the story of an unexpected encounter between the most iconic video game hero of all time, Mario, and the irreverent, chaotic & cute Rabbids. Go on an adventure with them and experience the Mushroom Kingdom like you never have before! A new world twisted by the mischievous Rabbids but filled with secrets and nods to classic Mario games!
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch NOW!
